Write Your Name in Persian!
 

Iranian people use the Persian alphabet to write English names. To write your English name in Persian, first you need to know the basics of the alphabet.

The easiest way is to find a Persian letter that corresponds to the pronunciation of your Persian name. For example, if your name is “Maya,” you can use the letter م for the “m” sound,” ا for “aa” sound, ی for “ya” sound, then ا for “aa” sound. You just need to put them together and write مایا for “Maya.”

Here are some English names in the Persian alphabet.

  • Noah (نوح)
  • Jacob (یعقوب)
  • Michael (مایک)
  • Daniel (دانیل)
  • Sandra (ساندرا)
  • George (جورج)
  • Thomas (توماس)
  • Kimberly (کیمبرلی)

Here are common Persian renderings for those names (Persian script - romanization):

Cora: کورا - Kora

Enola: انولا - Enola

Tennie: تنی or تِنی - Teni

Cerina: سرینا - Serina


Note that Persian spelling can vary by sound preference, so small variations are normal. If you want one version adjusted to a particular pronunciation, tell us which syllable you stress.


If you have any questions, please let us know.
